[Bug 650539] Re: Launching QT apps under Xinerama crashes Xorg : affects SpeedCrunch, KeePassX, Lucky Backup, Pencil, Stellarium, Skype, Google Earth, VLC, Konqueror, VirtualBox, Opera ...
Does anyone know why 'nvidia-graphics-drivers' is on this ticket at all? Sure. It was noticed first by nVidia users. Not too surprising since multi-monitor users are probably disproportionately nVidia users. Also, the closed source nVidia drivers always seem more culpable (and us for using them). It's hard to believe that the Xorg developers never ran into this bug. However, I just searched their mailing list http://www.x.org/wiki/SupportMailingList and there is only the note Does anyone still use Xinerama? I'll post our problems there. -- Launching QT apps under Xinerama crashes Xorg : affects SpeedCrunch, KeePassX, Lucky Backup, Pencil, Stellarium, Skype, Google Earth, VLC, Konqueror, VirtualBox, Opera ... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/650539 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to qt4-x11 in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

I added a bug report to the FreeDesktop Bugzilla https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30943 I appreciate Ubuntu more, now. The bug reporting system for Xorg is truly unfriendly, with multiple registrations, and a request to self- categorise the bug (Xorg isn't a catagory, the version 1.9.0 isn't a choice, nor does the 7.5 version I guessed appear anywhere in Xorg.0.log! I get the feeling that there is a strong Intel bias in the Xorg development. All the xrandr examples use it. Intel doesn't make a separate graphics card so they don't need Xinerama. ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #30943 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30943 -- Launching QT apps under Xinerama crashes Xorg : affects SpeedCrunch, KeePassX, Lucky Backup, Pencil, Stellarium, Skype, Google Earth, VLC, Konqueror, VirtualBox, Opera ... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/650539 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Nomad42184 asked if the Xinerama problem is being explored upstream? Bug 6450599 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics- drivers/+bug/650599 I reported be experience with nVidia. They confirm the bug, but says it's an Ubuntu-only problem and closed the bug report. They claim that Arch-linux doesn't have the same issue. My advice is to pester nVidia. http://nvidia.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/nvidia.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=44 I don't think they realise what a big deal this issue is. -- Launching QT apps such as SpeedCrunch, keepassX, Lucky Backup, Pencil, Stellarium, skype, VLC crashes Xserver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/650539 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 650599] Re: kde apps kill X in 10.10
I reported this bug to nVidia, and they find it's an Xorg error in Ubuntu's implementation. Their comment is: http://nvidia.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/nvidia.cfg/php/enduser/acct_login.php?p_next_page=myq_upd.phpp_iid=298195p_created=1285728578 Thanks for running those xinerama tests and for the additional information. I set this up and can reproduce this fairly easily, but I'm pretty sure this isn't an NVIDIA bug. I can reproduce the problem with Ubuntu Maverick, but I can't reproduce it on a recent version of Arch Linux, which uses the same X server version. On Ubuntu, I can induce a crash by just running `kwrite` in a bare X server with Xinerama enabled. I always get the same backtrace from the crashing server: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

[Bug 650599] Re: kde apps kill X in 10.10
After some testing (and reporting to nVidia as well) I can report: 1. nVidia 260.19.04 is also vulnerable 2. Xinerama is the culprit. No problems with twinview and no Xinerama (2 separate dual head displays).
